Last week, Peruvian restaurant La Mar Cebicheria added new special dishes to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. These specials will be available until February 10.

Every week, La Mar restaurant features a few daily specials that entice regular customers to come back. This time chef Diego Alcantara has created a couple of special Chinese Peruvian fusion dishes in honor of the Chinese New Year.

Most items are clever interpretations of traditional Chinese dishes like fried rice, mapo tofu and a steamed fish. But the flavors differ with the use of Peruvian chile peppers. The Enoki pot resembles a homey bowl of seafood stew. And the most unique dish is also the simplest, in which the popular chicha morada drink has been reduced into saucy dipping sauce, for perfectly fried jumbo shrimps. Also comes with a side of spicy mango salsa.
